From a technical aspect, it is what it is. The reality is "What am I trying to say with what I'm playing?" Everyone of us has a mouth but we express ourselves differently and not always in the same language. One might say, "This one smokes that one" and all that though it really just comes down to self-expression. Joe Bonamossa found he could do it with the Blues.

So those of you comparing and contrasting are just as good as any of these excellent artists. Therefore you can expertly decide who is better? I believe any man who can use their fingers to play rifts like these,,,,can probably excite me with more than just their music...and I would be proud to have them play me sometime...lol....great music....and haters can kiss it.
I've been waiting a long time for someone who can do the following:
1. Lay down rock, rock blues and blues tunes that will have you picking your jaw up off the floor. 2. Absolutely rip apart the fretboard by applying multilple techniques and blazing chops (this guy is NOT a one trick pony) from song to song and even within a song. 3. Have a voice that supports his guitar work AND can sing within the framework of multiple styles (rock, blues, rock blues etc..). JOE BONAMASSA is the REAL DEAL!!!
He played it closer to the original this time. I don't think I've seen him do that with this song before now. I personally loved how he took the song into overdrive mode on his HTCT album.
This song was written by Steve Winwood and recorded by Blind Faith. Their guitar player was Eric Clapton...you know CLAPTON. In my opinion, he is better then both Joe and John. I would never say anyone is the "best" as there is no Best. Everyone has their favorite and that's "their" best. I personally think MY best are Santana and Martin Barre (Jethro Tull)
Yes, rgrubb45013, totally. I just saw him in Sydney this last Friday and he was even better than last year... this guy is a genius... sometimes we forgot to breathe. It seems humanly impossible, but I suspect he's going to continue to evolve... what a talent...
'scuse me folks, uh, the song is one of Steve Winwood's. And I cannot believe that anybody even chalks down JB for being a non-academic. This guy teaches.
Both, JM and JB are greats guitar players, they rock, and I'm sure they know a lot of music theory, everyway they are far from being the best guitar players in the world, as long as Scott Henderson lives... sory but he is THE MAN haha, don't hit me people, just music taste!
I've seen both Mayer and Bonamassa in concert. I thought Mayer was quite good, better than I expected, but Bonamassa was jaw-dropping excellence. I've NEVER seen a better concert and I've seen a lot including Clapton several times. Joe Bonamassa is in a realm all his own, there is no comparison.
@missmoke007 ive seen a lot of players and i got to see Joe for the first time... He sent Chills up my spine the entire time... THERE IS NO CAMPARISON!!! Joe Bonamassa is hands down the best blues artist out right now he takes a back seat to NO ONE!!!
@rgrubb45013 I totally agree, he's the absolute best out there and probably will be for a long time as he keeps getting better, which seems humanly impossible. His playing is mind-boggling!
@chancecaufield Assuming your analogy follows respectively my palate has a preference for Oranges. (That means I like Joe better.) No shit though I do like oranges better than apples anyway.
again.. i see comments about "who's the best" "who's the new Blues God" .. and well it pollutes my listening .. don't you get it? it's not a contest .. just listen.. enjoy and please..please shut the fuck up , right?
I like Joe, but I don't think he did this song justice vocally. Guitar-wise he made it his own and it's pretty damn good, but his voice just seemed weak.
@ronzee55: Felt the same way about John Mayer, that is till I found a video on YouTube: "T Bone Burnett with John Mayer on Leno" (song "Palestine Texas") Check it out, you may be pleasantly surprised about Mayer...It's a really cool blues song that I highly recommend....HOWEVER~Bonamassa SHREDS Mayer!!
@mustangTNT I gotta agree with you. John Mayer is helping to keep blues alive. Even if many call him a douche, I'm pleased that he plays blues. The more of us, the merrier. :)
@ChyronIsChillin Just playing a little bit of it at his concerts doesn't help, because the people that go to his concerts heard his MODERN POP music on mainstream TV and Radio! If he was helping keep the blues alive, why wouldn't he release BLUES as his singles? Why wouldn't he go on all the talk shows he gets on and play the blues and talk about the blues and promote it? Joe is pure blues! His singles are blues, his talk show appearances have to do with blues, and he leaves out the pop mess!
@RHMETAL While you do have a point, my point is that he plays blues at all. John Mayer, while not favorable in his acts or words, is still a talented guitar player. Now there's a world apart between him and Bonamassa, but he still plays blues. I can't honestly tell ya whether he's sincere with his blues playing, but if it turns other people on to Clapton, Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Bonamassa and the rest, then it's keeping the music alive. Anyone that plays blues helps.(in MOST cases)
@mendrugo7 most of the legendary blues groups I.E. Cream, Led Zeppelin, etc. played covers of other older bluesmen, not as much, you are correct there, but just wanted you to know if you didnt already :), merry christmas.
Hey you have to give Joe credit for just having balls big enough to even do this song!!! Winwood is a singers singer and anyone has to be VERY brave to atempt to sing this song not to mentin that
Sorry, I'm a John Mayer fan also and even though John and Joe are both on my Ipod, John doesn't even stand in the same ring.... not even on the side of the ring. I think John is a great guitar player, but its light years away from anything that Joe can do.
@Van0791 - COme on now, be real with yourself, Mayer is definitely not as good as Joe. And that is ok, no one said he has to be, but it isnt even close.
@BLacKCatB0ne maybe there are guitarrists that are better than Joe, but i dont really know them. And judging from what i've seenso far, its kinda hard to get much better.. With this i mean that it is OK not to be as good as Joe lol
Yepp you got it right. John Mayer is the best. Go ahead and drown me in hate mail, but John Mayer has Joe Bonamassa on so much. JM has versatility; he can hop through genres like he's playing candy land; when he tries a genre/style he dives in the deep end. He doesn't just touch on it; he goes all out and does it well. Whether its, rhythm, solos, technique, presence, vocals, or anything I'm leavin out; John Mayer takes the cake. BUT; this is not to say I dislike JB; I like him a lott.
@surfer1211 john mayer is a great guitarist, he knows more technical theory than Joe Bonamassa because he went to berklee school of music. My preference is Joe Bonamassa, he sticks to the blues and really knows how to shred some crazy blues licks. Bonamassa knows his fair share of theory, hes a good jazz player, country player a great hard rock guitarist and an awesome blues man. he has a rawness in his playing that makes him more unique. Overall Clapton is god... :P
Don't chew out me out for this but Clapton really isn't God. He is Fantastic!; but not God. Like he has some serious, serious talent but he hasn't done anything that SRV or Hendrix couldn't do (possibly even better.) I love Clapton but folks of that generation were really overreacting to some pretty sick playing. As for JM, yeah he went to Berklee, but he was there for only 2 semesters. Most of which was spent in his dorm trying to as he put "Write Music as opposed to Learn Music."..
He's admitted that he can't read music off a page; he also said the most important thing he learned from Berklee was "Doe Rae Me, and ear training" other than that most of his playing was learned by ear. Regardless JM and JB are pretty close but IMO i prefer JM both on technicality and style; but than again it's just an opinion and its clear ours vary & nothin is wrong with that! Bottom Line every guitarist I've named is gnarly and deserves respect. Opinions will vary and that's okay!
@surfer1211 Saying "John Mayer is the best" implies that "subjectivity is objective", which objectively speaking is; fucking retarded at best. "John Mayer is a proficient blues guitarist" would be closer to the truth. With all that said and done, I find Bonamassa's playing far more spiritually fulfilling than Mayers'. There is a real sense of "I didn't have to write a bunch of cheesy pop albums for money" about him.
if i may... i disagree with you completely... first of all i think Jb is just awesome but his style is different from Jm´s, Jb's is more of a rock player while, in my opinion, Jm´s is more blues, listening to him reminds me of stevie ray vaughan a lot.... it is difficult for me to compare Jb to other players... still both give me eargasms when i listen to them
but as to joe smoking mayer?? i dont think so... and im a big fan of both
@rexasul Don't assume that just because Joe made music for his fans that John didn't do that too. Just because John started at a pop musician doesn't make him any different than Joe, he didn't make the pop records for money. That music speaks to people just like Joe's work speaks to you. So don't go throwing bullshit remarks about any of John's work. That said, they are too immense guitarists, you can't compare guitarists. Just like you can't compare artists, or any creative individual.
@palmster56 You can compare guitarists if you want to. Why can't you compare guitarists? Any two things can be compared, even subjectively - with some level of reason. I don't even like Bonamassa that much.
@ronzee55 you do not know much about music if you think not, rene martinez, mayer's guitar tech who used to be srv's tech said mayer is the best today so I would take his opinion over anyone youtube if i were you, and you might try listenng to mayer live and then you will see how truly great he is
I was at the concert august 1st in Notodden. It was my first Joe Bonamassa concert, and it left me with my jaw to the ground. Absolutely fantastic. Specially impressive was the acoustic version of woke up dreaming.
They put this together at soundcheck that night.... just saying. Even if Rick did mess up.... it's pretty impressive that it's this tight after playing through it one or two times.
im going to see joeB tomorrow 1.august at notodden blues fest here in norway. i have never been to a concert before soo i cant wait to go and see this amazing guy!! Joe Bonamassa the best guitar player of his generation!
